Mouse, can you find a job doing "stock" in a library or something? I was always soothed in the stacks putting away books and our libraries pay pretty decent. Ours is a local government job so has good benefits but because they're just little local branches, don't have a million people working in any one so not so many people looking over your shoulder/in your business.
